Gaming servers · booter-proof

Game server hosting in India: the server your friends can't get kicked off.

Minecraft, FiveM, CS2, Rust, ARK, Palworld — on NVMe with a 1 Gbps port, in India for 30–60 ms pings across most of the country, behind Cloudflare Magic Transit so a salty player with a booter changes nothing.

Rules of thumb for one instance; run several servers on one GM8-32-200 with a panel like Pterodactyl or AMP.

Why BookMyHost Cloud

Why host your game server here

Booters bounce off

Every IP we announce is behind Cloudflare Magic Transit. Volumetric floods are scrubbed at the edge — no null-route, no "your IP is blocked for 24 h".

1 Gbps, unmetered inbound

Enough headroom for 100-player Rust wipes and modpack downloads without a bandwidth surprise on the invoice.

NVMe for world saves

Chunk loading and autosaves hit disk hard. NVMe keeps tick rates flat, and one free snapshot means a griefed world is a five-minute fix.

Hourly for events

Spin up a GM8-32-200 for a Saturday tournament, pay for the hours it ran, delete it Sunday night.

India pings

Noida today, Mumbai and Chennai next. Roughly 30–60 ms across most of India instead of 150 ms to Singapore.

Root access, any panel

Full root on Linux or admin on Windows. Install Pterodactyl, AMP, LinuxGSM or run the binary by hand.

FAQ

Gaming Servers questions

Is DDoS protection really included?

Yes. It is not a per-server add-on: our whole network is announced through Cloudflare Magic Transit, so every VM on every plan is behind it.

Can I rent a server just for a weekend?

Yes. Hourly billing is per started hour, so a Friday-to-Sunday server is billed for exactly the hours it existed. Create it Friday, delete it Sunday night, and the charge stops there.

Do you offer a game panel?

You get root access and can install Pterodactyl, AMP or LinuxGSM in minutes. A one-click Pterodactyl image is on the roadmap.

Windows or Linux?

Both. Windows Server is included on Gaming plans for titles that need it; most game-server software runs fine on Ubuntu.

Can I open any port?

Yes. No port restrictions; UDP game ports work out of the box. Magic Transit filters attack traffic, not your players.

How do I back up my world?

Take the free snapshot before a wipe or plugin change, or copy saves to S3 Advance with free transfer inside our network.

Do attack bytes count against my bandwidth?

No. Floods are absorbed at Cloudflare's edge and never reach your port, and there is no metered bandwidth on the rate card anyway. A booter changes nothing on your invoice.

Will players in Bengaluru or Hyderabad lag on a Noida server?

Measured round trips from Noida (October 2026) are about 40 ms from Hyderabad and Mumbai and 40 to 60 ms from Bengaluru, depending on the ISP. That is playable for every major title, and far better than the 120–150 ms most Indian players see to Singapore. Our peering at Indian internet exchanges keeps those paths domestic.
